Beer Pongs “Elbow Rule a Necessity or Nuisance
The “elbow rule” says that the shooters elbow must stay behind an imaginary line extending upwards from the end of the shooters table at all times through out the throwing motion.
This rule is highly controversial, in fact most large scale beer pong tournaments have all but dismissed the rule all together, due to the fact that it is incredibly difficult to enforce the rule effectively. That being said you will still find many supporters on both the pro-elbow rule and anti-elbow rule sides of the debate.
Pros:
It eliminates the advantage of taller/longer- armed players that could gain by leaning in on their shots over the table.
It makes the game more interesting.
Cons:
Elbow rule is almost impossible to enforce.
Watching your elbow distracts the player from the game when it is called. Players will argue the call.
In most sports body types mean a lot especially if you are talking about the NBA. The height advantage can ether win the game or lose the game. The can be said that the same goes on in the NFL. These same factors apply to beer pong. It’s all about skills and abilities in the most effective way possible within the rules of the game.
In beer pong , a long reach and excellent hand-eye coordination could be your advantage. If you are playing with in the house rules, then we say go for it!
Strategy for Foosball to Win By
I have written a few articles on foosball but here are two tips to be a winner! If 
you want to be a really good foosball player and a winner, you only have to learn two important strategies – good offense and an impenetrable defense. All other foosball skills fall under these two categories.
When playing foosball defense is king, which is real similar as in real soccer. A good involve learning to resist spinning the rods aimlessly and this is a good start. This move is not allowed in amateur and professional competitions. Besides, if you spin the rods to much, you will loose control of your men and the game in general. Doing just that you’ll make horrible shots that won’t break your opponents defense. To block your opponents shots you have to make sure your men are standing in the upright positions at all times.
As far as offense is concerned, you have to be more aggressive. As being aggressive you have to hit the ball hard, among many other things. The harder the ball is hit the harder it is for your opponent to stop. A hard hit ball is going to be worthless unless it is struck accurately. You have to focus on accuracy and force when you are on the offense – the combination of the these two skill can be deadly. If you master these two skills, you will become a winner of the game of Foosball.
Just like any game, it takes time and practice to become skillful at foosball. You can’t learn all of the basics, techniques and skills of foosball over night. You will have to put some effort into learning and mastering each skill. Don’t worry; your sacrifices will reap great rewards.
Real Beer Pong
I have been seeing a lot about the Nintendo Wii beer pong game and just have to 
wonder if it is any good! Nintendo has been very popular for gamers since its launch in November 2006. There are many Nintendo Wii parties happening every week end among the young and the young at heart!
You can find the Nintendo Wii and “Old Folks Homes”, rehabilitation centers and in the collage dorms. This is where you will find many gaming parties. Now Nintendo has taken the party to another level named the “Party Game”. It has many of the familiar games as Hoop Shoot, Table Hockey, Trivia and also a game called “ping pong”! This seems familiar to me, a lot like “BEER PONG”, with no beer involved.
There are some benefits to this game “ping pong”.
1) No fluids to be spilled on the floor, only empty beer cans to be picked up!
2) The game can be played at a much casual, non-binge drinking fashion!
3)You can play beer pong without drinking basement floor dust bunnies!
I would dare to ask though! “How do you psyche out your the other team”!!!
Beer Pong Party
Okay, lets pretend that you have gone to a party and that you are actually 21! You have already been drinking and feel a bit buzzed. You have been watching a 
few people playing Beer Pong and every one is having a good time playing the game! You are feeling a bit confident and grab a friend that is hanging out at the back of the basement and you sign up to play a game of beer pong!
Now you have been waiting and watching for awhile and getting more of a buzz drinking and your turn arrives to play! You feel that victory is yours while you walk up to the beer pong table! Now all of a sudden you feel your palms getting sweaty and you realize that you have never played the game before and then you ask yourself what do I do now! You felt victory earlier and now victory is coming from the other side of the table with the other team juggling the ping pong balls!
Panic sets in! So what do you do? Been there and done that, my advise is to aim at one cup and give the ball some loft. Most players just toss the ball and hope for the best! So just remember to aim at one cup and have a lot of lob in your shot and you will do just fine!
Beer Pong Names and Rules
Beer pong rules and regulations differ greatly in various geographic locations, so we have compiled a comprehensive list of beer pong rules that you can choose from.
The most important part of a beer pong game, isn’t which rules you choose, rather that each player agrees to the beer pong rules before play begins.
Game Regulations
Rollbacks
With rollbacks, teams that make both cups on their turn will get the balls back, bypassing the opposing teams turn.
Re-racks
At the beginning of a turn the throwing team can choose to “re-rack” the cups into an accepted formation. Here is a chart of accepted formations:
Re-racks can be limited to 1 or 2 per game, or re-racks can occur at each agreed upon formation.
Rebuttals
Rebuttals are one of the most controversial aspects of the sport, as they come in many different forms. With rebuttals, if a team loses (their last cup has been hit) they have a chance to send the game into overtime. Each player can shoot the ball at the remaining cups until they miss. If the team that ended the game during regulation play did so in a fashion that would give them “roll-backs”, then there are no rebuttals.
During the rebuttal, if the shooting team makes the remaining cups the game is then sent into overtime. Overtime can be played with another round of rebuttals, or can be sudden death, and the first to finish the cups off is the winner
Game Rules
These rules can be handpicked for all game play, but each of the beer pong rules should be agreed upon before the start of any beer pong game.
Bounce Rule
Beer pong game play can allow for bouncing, or bouncing with defense. When bouncing with defense is added, the offensive team can bounce the balls into the cup and if made, two cups have to be removed from the table. However, the opposing team can swat the balls away after the bounce has occurred.
Babe Ruth Rule
If a player calls a cup and sinks it, they get the ball right back and can shoot again. If the player misses the cup (even if they make a different cup) the shot is over and is counted as a miss.
Beer Pong Distractions Rule
Distractions or “psych-outs” can occur, but one of the main rules is that there is no covering of the cups. This means that you can do whatever you would like except place hands or clothing over the cups so that the opposing players cannot see where they are shooting. Further, you cannot interfere with the ball in any way until it has touched either the table or a cup.
Bitches Blow Rule
When a ball enters a cup and is spinning around the edges, a defending player can blow into the cup and many times the ball will pop out. This rule states that only women can blow a ball out of the cup.
Fingering Rule
Same as “Bitches Blow” rule, however this involves Men using a finger to knock a ball out of a cup before the ball hits the liquid.
Flagship Rule
This rule states that the first cup in the beer pong rack has to be filled up to the brim with the beverage in play.
Land Mines Rule
Each team secretly picks half of their cups to fill all the way to the top with the game’s beverage and must drink the full amount when hit. Boom!
Sniper Rule
Team A makes their first shot of the round. Team B picks up the cup and starts to drink the cup. Team A’s second shot goes right into the unfinished beer in the hands of Team B. This means that the game is over. The cup is only safe when it is returned to the table totally empty.
Naked Run
If a team is shutout completely, they have to run a full lap completely naked around the outside of the house or 3 full laps around the inside of the room.
Spill Rule
If a cup is spilled during game play it counts and should be removed from the table. The team with the spilt beer should drink the same amount of beverage as they spilled. Exception: Bowling Rule.
Bowling Rule
Offensive teams may not throw balls at opposing cups with the intention of knocking the cups over, thereby causing the spill rule.
Air Ball Rule
If a player misses all cups completely (unless only one cup left) then they must remove a cup from their side.
NBA Jam Rule
If you hit three consecutive cups, you are now “on-fire”. When on-fire you can continue shooting until you make your shot
